Took a bit longer than I had expected, but here is my GB entry,
Latorre’s 54mm 5th Century Celt painted in Andrea/Vallejo acrylics with touches of other brands and some oils as washes.
He started with an off white tunic, but I didn’t like the shading I was getting, so he “changed” to a darker one.
His ankles were particularly thin, which was brought out in a Planet Figure review some months ago. I built them up with Miliput before inserting the brass rods to hold him up.
The review also noted there was more fantasy than strict reality in his outfit.
He does kind of look like a certain Austrian born actor turned governor of a far western state.
In painting the ace, I tried to get a darker palette than I normally use to increase his menacing appearance.
There’s no indication on the box, but Latorre gives the painter the option of the two axes I chose (as is used as the box art) or a shield for the left had. That shield in in the foreground of the base.
